In the heart of historical Shrewsbury, The Prince Rupert Hotel offers period features and traditional charm. Once home to Prince Rupert, the timber-framed hotel features a health club and 2 restaurants.

The magnificent building of The Prince Rupert dates back to the 12th century yet features a modern spa and fitness centre. There is a small gym, a spa bath, sauna and steam shower. The on-site beauty salon offers an extensive list of indulgent treatments.

The Royalist Restaurant serves creative dishes using seasonal produce, and is decorated with original tapestries and suits of armour. The more casual Chambers Brasserie features an open fire and oak panelling, and serves a traditional British menu.

The elegant rooms have en suite bathrooms and tea and coffee facilities. Rooms also feature a TV, hairdryer and free luxury toiletries. Wi-Fi is accessible throughout, and room service is also available. Many rooms have period features, including exposed beams and sloping ceilings.

Prince Rupert Hotel is centrally located in the town centre, surrounded by a maze of cobbled streets and historical buildings. The medieval Shrewsbury Castle is just 5 minutes’ walk, and The Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery is less than 500 metres away.

This property has been on Booking.com since 22 Jun 2007.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the details. Was the air-conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews and suggest you write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. That's our promise to you.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travellers to make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

We will sometimes remove reviews if they include the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing or offensive language.

Private information. To protect your privacy (and that of others) we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We do not display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, you should contact Customer Service, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens when:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the accommodation owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review goes with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there is any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent it will be flagged during the moderation process.

The hotel is old. Situated in the old town. The hotel has some charm. The rooms, the beds, the bathroom et cetera are out of datet. The bathroom was not clean in my room and a lot of old and broken tyles and bacteries in and arround the tyle at the bath. If you not expect a lot or dont have high standards it is a good and nice hotel in the mid of the center. For a quick stay it is ok but do not expect a lot

Took me a long time to find the hotel and then found I'm not able to park on site and the nearest car park was 5 mins away,
scuffed walls, bedroom and bathroom ceilings have old damp patches and pealing wall paper.
Prior to filling the kettle I discovered black sticky dirt stuck to the inner edge, and the kettle power cord is unclean,
It wasn't till the morning whilst cleaning my teath when I realised that the bathroom tap had been plumbed in-reverse to the H&C markings on top of the mixer tap,
ie hot =cold & cold= hot .
Meaning I had been drinking and filling the kettle with hot water from the tap and not cold, (not recommended if water is fed from a header tank ? )
Please note that the electrical safety test was due in 2012 on both the kettle and trouser press,
Also smoke detectors should be cleaned /tested at least once a year and replaced or re-calibrated every 10 years, I would estimate the one in room 302 is older and has not been re-calibrated or cleaned
(fire detection devices should not be painted!)
The bedroom bin looks like someone played football with it,
My Recommendations for room 302
New kettle,
New bin,
Touch up walls,
Sort damp patches,
Bathroom sink plumbing,
Electrical safety test on appliances,
New/calibrate & clean smoke detector.

Nothing !

Lovely quirky hotel. We had the prince Edward suite in the old part of the hotel. Lovely room with uneven floors!
Welcomed with a glass of sherry ! service was perfect. Arrived for breakfast at 9.50 finishes at 10 and there was no impatience or feeling of rushing us. Great stay
